RAZOR-STRG? DRESSING.

Application led March 30, 1926.

The invention relates to dressings for razor strops and has for its object to provide a combination which is in a solid form so that the same can be vended in blocks, preferably oblong shaped and may be placed on the razor strop by rubbing the block thereover. A further object'isto provide a razor strop dressing comprising a mixture of carborundum in grain form, parafiin, beeswax and graphite, and preferably in the proportion of five per cent corborundum, seventy five per cent paraffin, ten per cent beeswax and ten 'per cent graphite.

It has been found by mixing the ingre dients in the above proportions that a plastic block is formed which will easily wear away when moved over a razor strop and the strop will be coated with the material, and the carborundum grain will form a sharpening medium for the blade passing over the razor and the paraflin and beeswax will form a preservative for the strop and the graphite will maintain the strop pliable and prevent cracking or breaking thereof.

Figure l is ar perspective view of a block of the material showing the same in position for' use on a razor strop.

Figure 2 is a vertical transverse sectional view through the block of material.

In preparing the material the paraffin,

beeswax and graphiteare melted together and brought to a high temperature and then the carborundum grain is sprinkled in the liquid and rapidly stirred so that the grain will be easily distributed through the material. The liquid is then poured into molds and when cold solidifiesv and is ready for use. Five per cent of carborundum grain has been found sufficient in proportion to the other quantities to give the proper abraiding quality to the compound. i

The drawing shows a perspective view of the block in position for use yand in which the numeral l designates the strop and 2 the block in position thereon. kThe grains 3 of 45 the carborundum are uniformly distributed throughout the block as shown in Figure 2.

The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is 1. A razor strop dressing comprising a mixture of carborundum grain, parafiim beeswax and graphite.

V2. A razor strop dressing comprising a mixture of five per cent ofv carborundum gra-in, seventy five per cent paraffin, ten 5 A JOHN KAZDA.
